courier-imap installs just fine with no errors. For the other questions I get the following output.

Sorry, no. That's to your first statement. The x11-common package is NOT a dependency of mysql-server. The build-deps are build dependencies. That means that if you want to build the mysql server from source with all the mysql packages (including, probably, a gui thingy) you need the build-deps and thus x11-common. In answer to your previous mail, you DON'T need to say yes to that question. You don't need to install build-deps at all. If you just apt-get mysql-server, you can see the 'real' dependencies and x11 and things like that are just not a part of it. What happens if you apt-get some other package, say, courier-imap. You can remove --purge it later. No errors at all? What happens if you apt-get --reinstall debconf perl ? What does dpkg -l mysql\* say? Good luck, David BTW: I installed some xpackages and can start X applications on my slug over ssh without any problems. It doesn't bomb out because it has no video card. The nice thing about the X server is that it is perfectly content to just serve graphical content to your local video card. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
